About FutureCFO's Most Innovative Automation Award

As part of FutureCFO's Excellence Awards, the Most Innovative Use of Automation Award acknowledges a finance organisation's innovative use of automation for core processes, which include bookkeeping, accounts payable, invoicing and accounts receivable, tax compliance, payroll, and expense management. Using Esker's AI-driven Procure-to-Pay suite and Accounts Receivable solutions as a business case, International SOS was chosen as the winner by FutureCFO's judging committee.

"International SOS's finance digitalisation journey reflects many of the challenges organisations in Asia face today. They want to raise efficiency levels, have better insights into the business in real time, be able to respond to changes as they occur and do so regardless of the operational constraints that they face. International SOS's approach reflects a carefully crafted methodology that recognises the value of collaborative partnership to meet evolving business goals," said Allan Tan, Group Editor for CXOCIETY, parent company of FutureCFO.

Esker and International SOS's Partnership for Automation

Working closely with Esker, International SOS successfully optimised its finance processes using Esker's Procure-to-Pay suite and Accounts Receivable solutions (Invoice Delivery, Collections Management and Cash Application), moving from 85% paper-based invoices to handling 95% electronic vendor and customer invoices today. International SOS now operates in a highly collaborative and transparent process using Esker's solutions.

Furthermore, with Esker's Cash Application solution, International SOS can now manage multiple payment formats by automating the manually intensive process of matching payments received from all incoming sources, creating tremendous time savings.

"We are delighted to receive this award in partnership with Esker and we look forward to growing our relationship in the near future," said Ross Mackay, Group Head of Global Shared Services and Finance Optimisation at International SOS. "Esker's solutions and Agile methodology have allowed us to easily implement, improve collaboration and deliver benefits for our staff, customers and suppliers."
